Valuation Challenge 2022

Northern Illinois University's premier organization within the exceptional College of Business, NIU Investment Association, is proud to announce this year's VIRTUAL NIUIA Valuation Challenge.  Participating teams of top students in schools potentially worldwide select and investigate the hypothetical merger of two publicly traded firms belonging to an assigned industry.  In the Challenge's 1st round, teams submit a written report containing a thorough industry and company analysis which considers both quantitative and qualitative aspects of the deal as well as the ramifications for the companies involved.  Teams advancing to the Challenge's second round will submit a pre-recorded presentation and then later will defend their strategy to the live virtual full board of NIUIA judges and members.
